Stopping the bitch

Yesterday, I finally had a winning session, stopping a nine session losing streak. I only made a small profit, but I'll take it. In other news, I achieved a dubious personal "best" - the smallest number of hands played in a tournament where I recorded an official place. That number, of course, would be one. I joined yesterday's final tournament during the break at the end of the late registration period, which meant I'd get an official place no matter what. I was dealt pocket rockets on my first hand, shoved preflop, and got one caller. My opponent had been dealt AJo (ace jack offsuit), so I was a 91.1% favorite to win the hand. However, my opponent spiked a queen on the river to make Broadway, and I was gone in a New York minute.
